Huh, What Was that Noise? A Metal Gear Solid Revaluation

Metal Gear Solid made a huge impact on its release but does it hold up today? With the recent release of MGS: Peace Walker and the upcoming MGS: Rising how do the Metal Gear Solid games stand up years after release?

crashsnipe4951d ago

Metal Gear Solid is my favorite PS1 game and is still a lot of fun. Also the story is one of the best i have seen from a game in the 90's

last time i checked, the original was ported to PC...so if you cant find a copy on hand...finding it on the net shouldnt be that hard...when i first found out, i was super giddy knowing i could relive this game yet again

NecrumSlavery4951d ago

plus you can buy it from the PS Store.

PirosThe4th4951d ago

I can't get the pc version to work on Windows 7 so I just play it on my ps2...

fishd4951d ago

Whose footprints are these?

Boy oh boy,mgs wa absloutly mind blowing,that psycho mantis fight is still one of the most amazing experience i've ever had...when he said you like to play castlevania i shat bricks,literally!!!

jay24951d ago

The good will always be remembered..

princejb1344951d ago

i so agree, thinks about chrono trigger

PirosThe4th4951d ago

Chrono Trigger is one of the best!

CrzyFooL4951d ago (Edited 4951d ago )

Don't disagree with me because you suck at MGS and you always see !'s

Learn to sneak better!!

soundslike4951d ago

Agree 100%

Wish they never legitimized the impatient approach with the DREBIN system. Sneak or gtfo

Panthers4951d ago

YEEESSSS OMG I hated Derbin. I couldnt stand that you could buy weapons and AMMMMMOOOO any time you wanted. That actually really upset me about the game. All ammo and weapons should be found on site. That would have made the game much more enjoyable.

morganfell4951d ago (Edited 4951d ago )

You forget. "War...war has changed."

mastiffchild4950d ago

And thery7 hardly "legitimised" a new, run and gun approach with the Drebin system, did they? The ul;ti8mate awards, accolades and achievement comes from playing MGS4 as we always played MGS games didn't it? By sneaking and taking down enemies in non lethal fashion you get your BB emblem-the real measure of whether you played and enjoyed this MGS game to it's fullest, imho.

I also think standing about like tool puking your ring up from a combat high also points to Kojima firmly restating exactly how he thinks you SHOULD play MGS4 doesn't it? All the arrival of the ammo and guns anytime Drebin system did was unfold new ways to play the game and to be frank I enjoyed messing about in MGS4 trying to play it mainly as a FPS at times and also getting all my emblems needed some lateral thinking and messing about with all the available options. Had MGO been just a touch more intuitive(and had they avoided Konami's BS log in nonsense I suppose-it was a pain)and less prone to cheats then it could have made MGS4 the greatest single gaming experience all round this generation rather than just the very best SP experience I've had this generation.

As much as I love Snake Eater I would go as far as saying the SP of MGS4 is the slightly greater achievement because of the way Koj ties everything together and even keeps a few special twists for us in there. That plot was so disparate it needed an amazing work to tie it all up and that's what we got. Maybe in pure MGS gameplay MGS3 would pip MGS4 but overall I'd give Patriots the nod mainly because iot ticks every box, expands the playing field while maintaining series tradition all while tying together one of gamning's longest running and most complex storylines.

Just because you COULD run and gun didn't make it the best or the Kojima accepted way of playing MGS4 and to me was just another string to MGS4's bow of longevity. Great, great game in SP and my only regret is that they never quite nailed and safeguarded the MP well enough to really compete with other shooters while still keeping the MGS feeling intact. It was a tough act but as he got so close it's a bit frustrating to think they actually could have pulled it all off.

I’d have taken a few of those out. Prefer Sonic over Sonic 2. Outrun should be in there. Maybe even Pong as millions of people had fun with that even if it was repetitive. Final Fight pipped any Streets of Rage game, although Streets of Rage had the better soundtrack. Too many to list l guess. To me, retro gaming is the 1980s, maybe going into early 1990s.

Popsicle56d ago

Agree that the generational gap is too broad to really make a strong list. Need to tighten the years a bit. Hard to compare Pac Man with N64 games.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater - Official Unreal Engine 5 Trailer | Xbox Partner Preview

Get a glimpse at how the remake of Metal Gear Solid 3 will be updated through the use of Unreal Engine 5.

Snookies12202d ago

It looks wonderful visually. Frame rate is very inconsistent though, and definitely running sub-30's at times. I get that this is an alpha version. I just hope we can hit a locked 60 on the final release. Also, I kind of wish they'd expanded the areas a bit. Might feel a bit odd going through these sections that are still clearly going to be on a PS2 scale in size.

neutralgamer1992201d ago

They should expand where necessary and I really hope they do justice to this remake. IMO this remake should be top tier like dead space, resident evil 2 & 4 and demon souls

I am speaking quality wise

CrimsonWing69202d ago

Holy sh*t that looks good! I hope they don't censor it.

GamerRN201d ago

What is there to censor, I never played 3

An Xbox adventure in the jungle

BehindTheRows201d ago

*A multiplatform adventure in the jungle.

autobotdan201d ago

Mentions xbox on n4g. Prepares for nasty n4g comments replys

BehindTheRows201d ago

I mean, you can say that to yourself while you're drugged up on Xbox pills. Changes nothing. :)

autobotdan201d ago

Man you get insulted whan someone mentions xbox. You might need medicine

BehindTheRows201d ago

"Insulted" — says the guy running around like a headless chicken trying to convince folks to care about his favorite box. Ok champ!

BehindTheRows201d ago (Edited 201d ago )

If you actually have a counter argument to this being a multiplatform game and how "A multiplatform adventure in the jungle" was a "nasty reply", I'm all ears.

I'll even help you... what is the counter to this being a multiplatform game and why is that a nasty reply?

autobotdan201d ago (Edited 201d ago )

I was never in any argument or debate. You accused me of being on xbox pills. That was a nasty reply. I am done here. Not going to waste my time here

BehindTheRows201d ago (Edited 201d ago )

I mean, if someone responds to you with a factual correction and you reply with "Xbox xbox xbox", I'm not sure what kind of response should be expected.

If someone replied with "Ps ps ps", I'm sure you would wonder what is going on, especially if nothing wrong was said to you.

autobotdan201d ago

A factual correction?? What the..? I'm very confused here What were you correcting?

BehindTheRows201d ago

I thought you were done? :P

Answer: it's just as much a PlayStation/PC adventure as it is Xbox.

autobotdan201d ago

So i hurt your feelings by not mentioning Playstation/pc on an Xbox event article correct?

BehindTheRows201d ago

Hurt MY feelings? Once again, if someone replies with "Xbox xbox xbox", it's clear that they are affected by something more than they should be. You then double down with some BS about N4G (like this place is immune to trash talked about anyone else but them).

Plus, I thought you were leaving? You can't help yourself. XD

Unreal Engine...how disappointing.

Apovyk201d ago

UE5 is the best looking engine on the market today - why is that disappointing?

RedDeadLB201d ago

Because, at the moment, the most technically problematic and disappointing games run on it. 540p upscaled next gen goodness.

DarXyde201d ago

Disappointing if resolution is a huge deal for you.

Personally, I feel a re-tooled FOX Engine would have done great. If it was a PS5/PC only title, I think Decima would have been an excellent choice.
